Mespilus germanica 'Westerveld' Yellow eventually becoming lightly fissured afterThis cultivar, named after the nursery in which it was found in 1975, is appearance wise much like the species with white flowers in spring and dark green, obovates leaves which turn a spectacular red in autumn. It is, however, slightly larger and bears a much more reliable crop. Edible after being 'bletted' by frost, or sufficient storage. H6
